EPL: Why I did not do well under Conte – Chelsea striker, Morata

Kovacic starred in the thirty-minute cameo in the 3-2 win against Arsenal.

Leaving gaps at the back but attacking in waves, Chelsea has been a thrill to watch in the opening two weekends – much different to the often cagey approach of fellow Italian Conte. “I don’t expect it to be hard for me to adapt”.

However, the introduction to some of the academy’s top talents in pre-season was a welcomed sight, and a strong indication of how well the club is doing at producing some of the very best players England has to offer.

Theo Walcott drew first blood for the Toffees in the 15th minute and Richarlison doubled the lead on the half-hour mark. I am working fine and improving.

But it’s still August and this is Chelsea, after all.

After the match, Kovacic spoke of his joy at the prospect of regular football – without having to compete with the likes of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Isco. “I am going to stop for one or two years then I will start again”.

“The club who wanted me and the coach that believes in me. In possession we played well, but we need to be more focused without the ball”.

“You know what I said after the World Cup”.

“I’d never seen her run before”. Because I remember the good things instead of the worst. The Croatian midfielder was eager to move to Chelsea because of the prospect of getting to play under Sarri. It could be a win-win for Kovacic and Chelsea.

Eden Hazard is sitting tight at Chelsea and will not agitate for a move to Real Madrid. He netted his first goal for his new side in the 3-0 victory away at Huddersfield on Chelsea’s opening day of the season.

“I told you players that have the possibility to stay here, I not talk about him, I talk about in general always. Mateo was a big help in that regard, without a doubt”.

Wenger has been without a job for the first time in more than two decades, and he’s been taking his time deciding on what his future will be.

The La Liga transfer window doesn’t close until August 31, leaving many Blues fans nervous about losing one of their best players.
